“I can’t get itineraries from players when their parents are coming in to decide what a lineup is.”
That second answer is great. Torts paying homage to Dan Hawkins with the “intramurals” drop.
IT’S DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL!!!! IT’S THE BIG 12!!!
Or, in this case, it’s the National Hockey League. Torts doesn’t care who you are or where you’re from. Same guy who benched Travis Sanheim, Kevin Hayes, Cam Atkinson, etc, in their home regions or against their former teams. If the Flyers had an underperforming player from bumblefuck Yukon, and they just so happened to be playing bumblefuck Yukon that night, he’d still bench them. Even if their parents were coming in from Whitehorse.
